In particular, the sheets of carbon that comprise graphite can be pried apart by the insertion (intercalation) of ions. The graphite is viewed as a host and the inserted ions as guests. The materials have the formula (guest)Cn where n can range from 8 to 40's. The insertion of the guests increases the distance between the carbon sheets. Common guests are reducing agents such a
